   1. I would need the spec. for the used newsreader, searching for it   
      costs too much time.   
      
   2. I fear that I would have to use "C" or "C++" for such a plugin,   
      languages I don't want to use. They're used already too much.   
      
   3. Asking you to obey to the nettiquette in this newsgroup seemed much   
      easier, but since you want to keep your ego-style it doesn't work.   
      
   4. Why waste the CPU power to reverse the order in postings if it could   
      be done the way the vast majority (as you must already have noticed -   
      I'm not the only one to ask you to change this nasty habit) would   
      like it to be right from the start? Do you program in such a way at   
      work? (means do things somehow and at another place reverse it, even   
      I you colud have it produced reversed already in the first place   
      without additional ressource consumption?).   
      
   5. You aren't from the U.S.? They do consume too much ressources (like   
      wasting energy...)   
      
   Greetings

   PS: I hope I did give you something to think about, but I fear you   
   won't/can't...sorry to say.
